THE KUCCEMdON DISC CHORD.
.Tustiec Miller, of the United Stabs supremo
eeurt, in speaking of the presidential
sioti tonight, said:
???If Edmunds had Is-en elected president pro
tempore of the senate at tho recent extra sea-
son of that Ixsly, ho would now lie tho consti
tutional sneceasor to tho presidency in ease of
the death of Clove-land during 1i!h term of
office, though the tenure of ollkc of the presi
dent pro tempore can lie terminated at will by
de of tho senate."
Do you think that tho sudden death of tho
picxfdcnt will give rise to a constitutional
ml incut defining more clearly tho statutes
of llii- president pro tempore of the senate????
"No, it i# Hot needed. The president pro
tc mi*ore holds the office until the return of the
vice president, or until the senate elects Ids
diccctfor. Nor is his tenure of otllco limited
t?? a single session, for the senate is a body in
M-rjH-tuo, not expiring by limitation as docs the
Iou.se of rcprcw nfntlv,*.
Justice Strong, of the same court, said:
"Jt is customary at the close of the session of
the senate for the vice president to leave
the chair, and permit the elect ion of u president
pro tempore, in order that there might lie a
KUcrcHsion to the presidency in cose of the sud
den death of both president and vice-president,
Kendricks. 1 understand, declined to
jicrmlt the electlou of a president pro tciuporo
- tho aciiale. Hence, that Imdy i*
now without n presiding officer, and
Cleveland should also die,
Ik fore the meeting of congress, the country
would be without a head, and a most difUcnlt
problem w ould In* offered for solution. A con
stitutional amendment is not necessary, but a
congressional enactment is certainly noeded,
and under the circumstances will probably bo
adopted by the incoming congress, vesting the
presidentiul aiietcssion, in case of tho death of
the prcfddfnt, vice-president and AjM-aker of tho
house, in the sceretnryof state until an election
could lie held. In Hurt contingency the secre
tary of (Ante would ho legally only acting pres
ident. although by courtesy he would lie called
president. The Kamo would lie true of the
vice-president, tho president pro tout, ortho

thought they won Id Ik* able to accompany tho

lie could arrange to go with tho party. Tho

At Least ???300,000 to lie Netted to the Es
tate??? Ifnadly and Conkling Didn???t Want It,
New York, November 21.???(.'lifts. L. Well
ster, of the firm which is publishing General
Grant???s memoirs, has just returned from Eu-
rojs*. where urrangeniciitH were made for trans
lating and publishing that wrork in many lan
guages, but his pet plan of sale by subscription,
had to lie given up. One of the argument.*
made by some of General Grant???s friends in
fuvor of giving the contract of publishing tho
memoirs to the Century Company or the Ap-
jiktons was their ability to put the book
the market.
This was believed to ho ono of the most ira-
jxirtant |>artH of the jiuhlication, and had for
time great weight with the author. Mark
Twain, however, who 1ms probably made
more money out of book-writing than any
other American author, had discovered a way
of avoiding tho book trade entirely, and ho
imjairtcd the Information to Fred Grant, who
at om c concluded to follow 3Ir. Clemens's ad
vice, Clemens had gone into tho busin
make money. Jit* did not propose to divide his
earnings with the news companies. Ho settled
on Charles L. Webster, who was a compara
tively unknown printer, and made him hi# pub.
Usher. The hooks were issued on the subscrip
tion plan, aud Clement* and hi* publisher
divided the profits. The task of putting a book
like General Grant's on the market is by nr
menus an easy one. It involves the organiza
tion of an army of ten thousand canvassers.
"I often think what a motley erow*d this
army of mine must Ik*,??? said Mr. Webster.
"Wlmta spectacle It would lie if I could only
get them together for a review. The list of
suhseriliers contains nearly all the well known
names in the country. Fresidcut Cleveland
has subscribed for a copy bound in morocco.
General Sheridan uot only subscribed, hut ho
caused the war office to lie ransacked for a
month, hunting for tho original document of
Ix*c*'s surrender, a fac-simile of which we liavo
in the second volume. Governor Hoadly
however, refused point blank when approached
and asked to snbscribe by ono of our general
agents some time ts*fore the general???s death.
???General Grant isn???t ?? literary man,??? said he.
??????I don???t know that I have any use for his book.???
One of our less trustworthy canvassers told mo
thut Mr, Conkling nearly nnuihilnted him
when he penetrated to his private office to try
to sell him a copy; he said that the ex-senator
fairly roved ??nd swore. I can't vouch for the
tmtn of the story, however.
???'I???vegot to travel up to Canada in n few
days to secure our copyright in that country.
Their laws are fearfully and wonderfully made
in Canada. If General Grant were alive he
would have to Ik* carried into the country to
satisfy the copyright law, hut-as he is dead
they kindly allow me to represent both author
and publisher.???
"How much will General Grant's estate real
ize from the hook???? asked the reporter.
"It is now assured of $300,000,??? was tho re
ply, ???and if the sale of tho second volume
equals that of tho first, that will grow to *700,-
000, all in the first year or two. After that
it will come along In amounts dependent on
the Mlo beyond the first batch of subscribers.
We count on four or flvo hundred thousand
subsrrJbers.???
kTORM AND TIDE. _
The North AI bin I In Count Disturbed???A Re-
nmrUnhle Snow Storm.
Washington, November 24.???A heavy stonn
has prevailed during tho past two days through
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and
along tho lower New England const. Along
the shore the tide was extraordinarily high,
and inland the snow fell in depth from six
inches nt Westminster, Maryland, to two feet at
some points iu tho coal region* of IVunsylviiufa,
In the the hitter district, railroad trallie is so
greatly impeded that work wan suspended at
some oollieries.liecnuse the product could not he
moved. In this district there is now consider-
able dread of warm weather, a* a thaw would
???nuso a disastrous freshet. At Hunter???s Point,
hi Ixmg Island. oj??j??????site the New York and
the terminus of the Long Island railway, the
tide rose this morning to a depth of several
feet over the dock* and the street for a dis
tance of a hundred yards, rendering foot travel
to the ferries and railroad impassable.
Wagons could not get ulstard the ferry
boats, the hitter being several feet uliovo the
ferry floats. Tho greater jKirt of Coney Island
is almost submerged. Tho Brighton heaeh
race course is flooded. Horses have lwen taken
away from the stables and there was no racing
today. At Sheepsliead bay the water on the
boulevard is six feet deep, basements and
first floors of many houses being
flooded, and their occupant* cofii|H*lh*d to move
the furniture to the upper fl<**rs. 31any small
buildings have Ik*cii carried away. No serious
damage ha* as yet hecu reported, but it is
ami that more of tin* heacn near the hotel
ill Ik* washed out, und the basement of the
hotel and Ilu*yard of the Brighton Beach rail
road flooded. Very many waterside villages
belli side*of Long Island are half sub-
ineiged. There wits a very high tide at New-
jHirt last night, and many wharves were flood
'll. At places on the Long wharf a rowboat
ad to Ik* used to get to the shop*. There is a
heavy Fra outside of Newport hay today,
nml the suif at tho bench
nml the elill's is magnificent. The
Black Island steamer failed to make it* trip.
A higher tide is feared tonight. At Fall River.
Mass., nn earthquake wave in the lake at 9:30
this intoning caused the tide to rise three feet
above mean high water mark. No damage
is reported. A similar extraordinary tide
and heavy gale prevailed all along the
Jersey const. At Ocean Beach, N. J.. the ship
Malta, which was rebuilt from nn old steamer,
nine ashore t his morning. One sailor junincd
rcrltoard and was drowned, but the other
ember* of the crow, thirty-three in number,
ere brought ashore by a lit???'* saving crew,
he vessel was loaded with empty oil barrels.
